AAP Assignment

Dear Readers of My Blog,

The following is an AAP Assignment about a video and the camera shots employed.

Video Used: “Finding Nemo” Trailer
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2-Jrglx2BM)





This trailer employs four significant camera shots.

Firstly, the establishing shot (0:12 - 0:22) introduces the audience to the story by setting the scene out in the sea.

A low shot (0:17) is used to show that the shark is the most powerful fish out at sea.

The director used a point-of-view shot (0:28 - 0:29) to show how anxious Nemo’s father was and what he saw when looking for his son.

Lastly, there was a head-on shot (1:06 - 1:09) when the turtle moved towards the camera, making the audience feel more involved as if it was really heading towards them.

Best Regards.

Nathan
